More "dancing horse" horror.

el caballo azteca bailando en culiacan

Did you see how the horse struck out at the handler? And how his ears were pinned several times? And how he was a nervous wreck the entire video?

That, in my opinion, says far more about the handler than the horse.

This one is also particularly upsetting. I'm not exactly sure what the guy is trying to do, but I think the horse has made it perfectly clear what he thinks of it. And that's all I need to see.

El Macho Bailador 1

Yes, let's put chains around the poor thing's legs, tie him up, and whip his legs to make him prance. Awesome.

El Macho Bailador 2

Same mule again. Isn't that just precious.

El toro bailador

El toro bailador 2!!

And because doing it to horses isn't enough, let's try it with a bull!
The poor thing looks aggravated. It tried to bolt a several times. The reins attached to the nose ring make me want to cry a little. Ouch.

Notice how long they make the animals do that. At least several minutes at a time, no rest. And often on hard surfaces.

One more horror show.

Are your eyeballs burning out of their sockets yet?

Let me just say something...

Horse slaughter is often referred to as a "necessary evil".

A necessary evil.

...

There is

No.

Such.

Thing.
